urotone or betheran are substitutes, but should only be taken on prescription as their are side effects of the drug.

Health Query

I had been operated for spina bifida at the age of 3. I am 45 yrs old now. Besides limping from left leg, I also had neurogenic bladder (post void residual of around 150 ml). I am taking medicines for the same i. E, flotral and urotone/ urivoid regularly. My query is regarding a) the medicines I am consuming can be taken on long term basis? b) doctor had advised me to get static cystogram of bladder done. Is the test safe considering neurogenic bladder?

Asked for male, 22 years old from Kolkata

I am 22 years old. I had a bulbar urethral stricture operation on last 27th july. Then the doctor advised me to take 1 urotone tablet daily by dividing it into two parts (half part in the morning and half part in the night). By taking the tablet in the process (half part in the morning and half in the night) I am always felling severe belly pain. So is it right way to take urotone tablet by breaking? When will I take this tablet before or after meal? please reply me what can I do?

You are already been operated for stricture. If you are generating good flow of urine without the urotone tab, then I will suggest you to stop the medicine. If you cannot generate, then it will be better to consult your urologist for change of medicines. For information, your symptom has no relation with break in tablets.

Asked for female, 56 years old from Mumbai

My mother aged 85 who is bed bound had 2-3 episodes of hematuria. She was hospitalized and urine sample was collected with the help of a catheter. Her urine routine showed 75-80 pus cells but urine culture and sensitivity test showed no microbial growth. Her usg kub shows that she's having more than 500 cc urine retention. One kidney shows hydronephrosis with dilated ureter. Her abdominal scan shows that her bladder wall is trabeculated with diverticula. She was treated with antibiotics and her urologist prescribed niftas 100 mg 1 tab for 3 months, macpee 25 mg 3 tabs/day for 2 months and veltam 0.4 mg 1 tab for two months. Within 10 days she again had episodes of hematuria which lasted for 2-3 days. Her doc prescribed zifi 200 2 tabs per day for 7 days. After two days of zifi bleeding in urine stopped. Currently she's complaining of lower abdominal pain sometimes and strange discomfort. On checking her spo2 it shows fluctuation and there is increase in pulse rate. Today her pulse jumped to 128 and spo2 dropped to 76 and then normalised to 98. Her pulse rate has never come out to be high and spo2 has never fluctuated this much. Does macpee, veltam cause side effects? If so, whatever my mother is experiencing are the side effects of the meds she's on? She's completed approx 25 days of macpee and veltam and 30 days of niftas 100. Does she require a catheter for urinary retention? We are quite apprehensive in going for the catheter as she may try to pull it out leading to injury. My mother has history of hiatus hernia, oesophageal stricture, oesophageal ulcers, uti, osteoporosis and age-related dementia. She was having hypertension since past sev years but from past one month she is off the antihypertensive as her bp comes out to be normal. please advise. Thanks a lot.

Sorry to hear about how your mother has suffered so much
I am here to help however I can.
(1) puss cells in urine but no growth on culture could indicate "sterile pyuria" which is common in elderly women. Possible reason for this may also be recent or incomplete antibiotic course. There are also several organisms that could cause uti, they may be present in bladder/urine but do not grow on culture media and they are capable of causing hematuria.
(2) there can be several obstructive (...more

Asked for female, 29 years old from Gangtok

Hello Dr. I am 28 years female, facing urine retention problem and also urine frequency. From the urodynamic study it was observed that my bladder pressure is weak. I was put with a catheter for a weak and was given medicines like urotone25 - 3 times a day and urimax0. 4- once daily. Through which I was feeling well .after 2 months I was advised to do ultrasound in which I had no retention problem, so my urotone tab was reduced to twice daily. Again I started facing some problems. Its been 5 months but still the problem persists. And now again after uroflow test I am advised to take urotone thrice daily. Is there no other way to recover with this problem? Or is it safe to consume all these tablets for a long period of time? I also get lower back pain sometimes if retention is there.
